    The needs of the many...

    I'm starting to make some real progress on my story "Danger Close" (unfortunately I'm still stalled out on "The Blue and the Grey") and I've already got almost two thousand words into the next chapter. My latest move is to find a possible new use for Daring Doo. She appeared early in my story, but I haven't worked her in very much since. The idea I had was for her is to possibly pursue a

    Uncharted Waters

    I've been working recently at the latest chapter of "Danger Close", and I've run into a problem. I've wanted to let one of my characters have a speech impediment, namely an occasional stammer. But, not having any personal experience with anyone with this issue, and having no training in the subject matter, I can't help but worry about whether I can do this and not have the character just seem

    The Cost of War

    I am making more progress of recent on the story "Danger Close" and I hope to have another chapter out within the next week or so. I'm aware that I don't have a huge following, but I still plan to finish the stories I've started. Today, my writing had to take a nasty turn as I've had to kill a character.

    Do Stories Have An Expiration Date?

    My story, "Danger Close", was originally started in the middle of 2019, right in the middle of the last season of MLP:FIM. I admit that it's been a long haul trying to figure out just how I wanted to structure it, and exactly how the story should develop. I'm not much of a writer, and even as a reader I tend to stick a little too much to history as opposed to fiction, which can limit one's

    Something is Coming

    I've been plowing ahead these last few days on the long delayed next chapter of "Danger Close", and I think I can say that it will be finished by next week. I should ideally feel a certain sense of pride, were it not for the fact that it has taken me close to two years to get this far. It's not that surprising as such things go. There are a lot of stories out there that have stalled out over the

Is this a good idea, or not? · 6:50pm Jan 5th, 2020

Yesterday, I decided to take the plunge on what will be my fourth story, which will be a sequel to "The Good Fight". I can't help but wonder if it's a good idea to move into new territory with two other stories sitting incomplete. The idea for this one has been buzzing around in my head for quite awhile. And with the other two still needing some serious thought, partly because of the fact that they're connected to each other subject wise, maybe getting this new one off my to do list will help. We'll see.

Also, wanted to add my latest act of insanity. While working on this particular new story, I've decided to do some tinkering with "Danger Close". Right now, it's a case of experimenting with Chapter 2 and seeing if there's a possible way forward. I feel like it's long overdue and hopefully I can get that one going again, but how dippy does one have to be to have three incomplete stories at the same time? How does everyone else handle these things?
